Much ado about the To-Do List, your arts and culture newsletter
When I commenced my occupation at Ideastream Community Media in 2016, I couldn’t think I’d be functioning in a making in Playhouse Sq.. The lifelong theater geek in me was elated. Owning grown up immersed in the visible and executing arts, it seems fitting that I now work on Ideastream’s arts and tradition team as a digital producer.

List of Open Artist Commissions for San Diego Comic-Con 2022 [UPDATE July 03]
Ever since the halcyon days of 1970 (with the exception of two years we won’t speak of), one thing has drawn thousands to San Diego Comic-Con each year — art.

The Venice Biennale Power List: Here Is Every Gallery Representing an Artist at the 59th Edition of the Venice Biennale
Being included in the Venice Biennale is a very big deal. For emerging artists, it can be a career-defining moment. Even established ones can add another notch to their belt. And for the galleries that represent them, it may very well mean improved business prospects. While dealers generally deny that the Venice Biennale is a selling event (you may get snubbed is you make such a gauche suggestion), there’s no question that collectors, museums, and advisors are known to treat the show a little differently. Even if they aren’t shopping the exhibition catalogue, the publicity associated with an artist’s inclusion provides an excellent opportunity for the back room. So we got to…
